We've just commissioned Release Six which will include a head sprue for further conversions that are planned to fit the Astronauts and the Minion release - three alien and three human, If there is demand we may sell the astronaut helmets as a separate sprue at some stage, but no immediate plans. More details soon.

Cool although the longer you leave releasing the minion the more I'm going to have to get, as I keep finding heads to stick on a boiler-suited body... (black cat do fly-heads that look like they'd be ideal for doing Planet of the Dead style aliens, for example...)

BTW - here's a height comparison shot against Tweedy and to show head placement.

Something Crooked this way comes...

I Thought that it was part of your artistic freedom lol
You can blame it on the frenchy being thick and sewing onto the arm while wearing the suit...

These are just great: wonderful sculpts, and the obligatory top-notch Giraffe-ish paint job.

My painting mojo has been awol all summer, but I really think these will be an essential order.

These look fantastic. I can't wait to see them in person.

Is there any chance of a future release having some sci-fi people wearing pajama-like jump suits with bell bottoms? Bell Bottoms on your space suits sounds like the perfect addition to any 70's era space city.

Cheers gents!

A few people (OK, AEG several times) have suggest a bell-bottomed moonbase crew. No immediate plans, but I like the idea so will add to the wishlist.

We are considering next years releases as we speak, so pitch your ideas on the CD Forum!

Seems only fair for your figures to wear the same style clothing as you :~}

How about moonbase crew in shiny wigs and body stockings?  Including the men, of course ...

So will these be produced in resin or in white metal when they are released?

Thanks
